"Employees are striking because we want Starbucks to live up to the values it markets to the world. Starbucks claims it offers the “best job in retail.” As someone doing one of those jobs day in and day out, I can tell you that's not true."

I'm a Starbucks barista. I'm striking because I want 'the best job in retail.'
Baristas want Starbucks to succeed. We take pride in the green aprons and in our customers who return each morning.

Did the one kid at Hegseth's high school who could grow a beard steal his prom date or something?
Hegseth: "We don't need to be a military of beardos anymore. Do you know how many troops claim to be Nordic Pagan? No, suddenly it's become this real fake religious affiliation inside the Pentagon where troops came to be Nordic Pagan so they can grow a beard and nobody challenges them on it."
